    This needs some DAF weirdness added to it. The DAF YA328! Also know as "Dikke DAF" (Fat DAF). Crazyness allover that thing. NO AXLES (wait what?) yes no axles. Each wheel is driven from one central diff useing wormwheel drives on each wheel. This gives the wheels extreme independed travel.

    And still all these ships can be blown up by small diesel-elec subs...

    Damn that's a minger!

    Now I finaly know why this wasn't a succes. A shame. First time I read about this car I started to drool, it looks cool, got a flat six.. in the back! On paper this car has so much potential with the right modifications.
    I keep hopeing the guys from Gas Monkey do one up on the show.

    In case anyone wonders what the TZ3 means:

    Isn't that most awesome name? Tubolare Zagato? Allthough in this case it's not really a Tubolare... Tubolare meaning it has tubular frame for lightness.

    Why not spend a little more and buy this WWII Hellcat. Why? #because race tank!!

    Nothing really happens without these pieces of rubber. No power steering. No aircon and no alternator hence your battery will drain and NOTHING works.. Piece of rubber: most underappreciated piece of car tech (just as in real life it's about the rubber to prevent nasty things, kids, from happening).

    Pretty skinny tires actualy, nothing special. Here it is on top of the mountain.

    Yes pretty much. I think it was the weight that made the difference. The Niva skipped over the mud the LaRo dug in.

    Aah The Niva. The definition of awesome! If you need a car to go where a LandRover Defender can't go.. I had to go to Armenia for work a while back. There was Niva's and other Lada's all over the place! It was Lada heaven (Lada heaven is a kind of heaven where you breathe nasty exhaust gas..). We had a Defender and a…

    As a Dutchie I know everyone in my country is still hugely gratefull for the sacrifice of your dad's and grandfathers. Even the younger generations grow up with the stories of WOII. It is always fascinating to read or hear the human stories behind the tragedy. The cold numbers of 19,000 deaths are horrific but not…

    Any scene from Fargo or No Country For Old Men.

    Rising Maserati sales go hand in hand with rising sea levels.
    A Maserati tries it's best at global warming just so the sea level rises hence people need more tridents to keep Poseidon happy.
    I suspect Maserati sales will explode as we see people dunkin' Ghibli's in te ocean as offerings to the allmighty Poseidon.

    Without watching the video I can allready tell there is a major flaw in this story. They left the most important aspect out: Will it baby?

    I have but one question: what is Chuck Norris doing under Seattle??
